Supreme Court of Connecticut
Mercedes-Benz Financial v. 1188 Stratford Avenue, LLC
April 16, 2024348 Conn. 796
Summary
The court held that the defendants timely moved to open the default judgment because they filed their motion within four months after judgment. The trial court abused its discretion by treating the motion as untimely, because that error could have caused it to apply the wrong legal standard and affected its evaluation of the defendants’ asserted defenses and reasonable cause. The court reversed and remanded for an evidentiary hearing before a different judge. No separate opinions were included.
